SPONSORSHIP LEVELS

The 25th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases (VLDB'99) is being held at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Edinburgh, Scotland from Tuesday, 7th September to Friday, 10th September, 1999. As the premier international conference on databases, VLDB regularly attracts a world-wide attendance of 500 or more delegates from academia and industry.

We are actively encouraging sponsorships for the conference. There are three categories of sponsorship for the VLDB 1999 conference.

  • Principal Sponsor 
In each case, the sponsoring company is responsible for providing the artwork (company logo) to be included on the various publications and promotional material. 

The sponsoring company may request their contribution to be associated with a specific item or event associated with the conference. However, sponsorship items will be allocated on a 'first come first choice' basis.
